Everything about our stay was wonderful. We were greeted by our energetic, knowledgeable, and friendly host Gagga, and she assisted us throughout our short stay. The breakfast was very satisfying, and the common areas of the house were very inviting.

The host gave us a truly exceptional stay at Grimsey! Felt at home right from the start and the breakfast was great as well. Would definitely return! Not just for the beautiful island itself but also for this guesthouse. :)

"Memorable Stay"

10.0

This is a truly wonderful guesthouse - spotlessly clean, conveniently located, very comfortable beds, excellent breakfasts, well equipped kitchen, light filled breakfast area, and even laundry facilities (!). What made our stay particularly special however was the generosity of the people who own and run the guesthouse. We were met at the ferry and driven to the guesthouse. We were also driven back on the day we departed. We were also told we could call anytime if we needed to be driven somewhere on the island. We were given a tour of the island as part of our stay (no extra charge), which included lots of information not just about the trails, various birds and nesting areas on the island but also stories about the island and the community that has been there for centuries. The warm reception we received at Basar, as well as from the other residents really made our trip memorable.
